The story of Thunder and Lightning. (Not Really.)

Legends tell of legendary warriors. Whose powers and skill were the stuff of legends. They flew over all of Equestria, searching for foes to fight and ponies to save. They were Thunder and Lightning.

Thunder was calm, cool, collected, and had the power to generate blasts of sound that could destroy mountains. His brother, Lightning, was hot-headed, impulsive, stubborn, and could generate blasts of electricity that could boil oceans. They were benevolent and humble, using their powers to fight injustice and help ponies in need.

What were these beings? How did they come to be here? The answer to that is simple my friends. They don't exist yet.

Let me explain. This is the story of two young pegasi, who's importance was more then even they know. Do you wish to hear more? Then listen well, for I will not repeat myself....

The morning sun broke into the windows of a cloud house, not unlike the houses in Cloudsdale, and all was still. Except when the alarm went off in a young pegasi's room. The pegasi in question got out from under his covers and shut off the alarm, a sleepy smile on his face. He was Thunder.

He was an average looking stallion, wings held proudly before him. His coat was as black as a starless night, which contrasted heavily with his mane, which was a deep shade of electric blue, as was his tail. His eyes were of a somewhat lighter shade of blue then his mane and tail, but the feature he was most proud of was his cutie mark. It was a grey thunder head, looking about to burst with rain. Thunder yawned and got out of bed, ready to face the day.

A similar alarm was ringing in another room. The occupant of the bed was still for a moment, as if trying to sleep through it. The battle was decided when the pegasi got out of bed, picked the alarm up, went over to a window, and threw the infernal thing out of said window. This was Lightning.

His coat was white, the shade of snow. This contrasted heavily with his mane and tail, which was a bright gold in hue. His eyes were a lighter shade of yellow, but, as with Thunder, his proudest feature was his cutie mark, which was a jagged lightning bolt going across his flank.

Lightning groaned and went to the door, opening it into the hallway and was greeted by the face of his brother.

"Morning, Lightning." Thunder said with a smile.

"Morning Thunder." Lightning replied.

The two looked at each other for a minute, then looked down the hallway to see each one's objective; the bathroom. Lightning looked at Thunder.

"You going to use the bathroom?"

"Yeah. You?"

"I was, but I want you to go first."

"Really?"

"Yes. But first, could you look at my foreleg? It seems to have a spot on it." Lightning held out his hoof for Thunder's inspection

Thunder looked at the leg with suspicion. "There's nothing wrong with it."

"Are you sure?" Lightning pressed his leg closer.

"Lightning, there's nothing wrong with-"

Before Thunder could finish his sentence, Lightning whacked his brother with his leg as hard as he could. As Thunder held his face in pain, Lightning sped down the hallway, laughing all the while.

"You fell for the oldest trick in the book!" Lightning cried, only to get a nasty surprise. Thunder had caught up to the white pegasus and was right beside him.

"I,m going first!" Thunder yelled, bumping his brother towards the wall.

"Not today!" Lightning responded, bumping Thunder back.

They proceeded to race down the hall, (It was an unusually long hallway.) bumping each other as they neared their destination. Lightning suddenly smiled and unfurled his wings. Then, as electricity sparked from his mane and tail, Lightning speed down the hallway, passing his brother by a long shot. Thunder growled. He wasn't going to win that easily. Thunder unfurled his own wings and crouched. As blue sparks came off his mane and tail, Thunder kicked out his back legs, causing a massive sonic boom to come forth and propel Thunder like a rocket.

Lightning speed onward, sure of his victory, when he heard the sonic boom. He turned just in time to have Thunder crash into him, then they crashed into the wall adjacent to the bathroom. Once they recovered from the crash, they made a move toward the bathroom, which resulted in them having a vicious wrestling match, which lasted all, but twenty minutes. Then, with a final push forward, Lightning opened the bathroom door and turned toward Thunder, who was on the floor.

"I win again." Lightning said with a grin of triumph before slamming the door in Thunder's face. Thunder growled and slammed his hoof into the ground, causing a crack to appear in the floor from his unintentional small sonic boom.

"Some day." He said, before going down to use the downstairs bathroom.

As Thunder exited the bathroom, Thunder heard a knock at the door. He went through the house and answered, surprised to find a Unicorn messenger pony.

"Can I help you?" Thunder asked in confusion.

"Message for Thunder and Lightning." The messenger replied, dropping a note into Thunder's hoof before turning and leaving without a word.

Lightning walked in as Thunder opened the letter. "Whose it from?"

"Not sure." Was all the answer Thunder gave before he read the note. Thunder then looked back at his brother in shock.

"This is a summons from Princess Celestia!"

Lightning didn't say anything, just passed out on the floor in shock.

A few minutes later, Thunder and Lightning were flying away from their house, a mix of excitement and Dread filling both their hearts.

"Thunder, do you think...?"

"It's possible."

This could possibly be the chance of a lifetime.
